Making Sense of Life

Rochelle’s photo prompt this week suggests old stones and history. Where does your imagination take you ? Are you inspired to write a 100 word story?

I’ve had a holiday, and it’s good to return to the Friday Fictioneers challenge.

THE TOWER

Fear coils around my ribcage. I must hurry towards the tower. Each footstep sucks me down, legs like lead. I see only dank shadows. I’ll disappear if I don’t reach the light. I feel urgency – dread or hope ? See a rosy glimmer ahead – my heart lurches with relief – a mirage of home where I belong. The me who is here isn’t real is she ? Deep down I know things will be ok if I reach this warm, bright place of love, I’ll be mended.

The alarm jolts me awake. It’s that dream again with the tower, constant presence in my growing up.

I enjoy making quirky and kind observations about other peopleand about places. I write short word sketches about certain situations that feel significant to me, I draw little cartoons. I reflect on particular t.v programmes, films and books as they grab my interest

Reading your story I could tell it was a dream, your imagery was wonderful. I wish there were an explanation as to why we have re-occurring dreams. I’ve had my share. Maybe we just have overactive imaginations (as my mom used to say). Nicely written! =)

There was a time, a few years ago, my daughter and I had the same dream several times over a year or so. It only happened with this one dream. We didn’t know it until later when I was talking about a vivid dream I had had a number of times and she said, “Me too!” Freaky.
